Chapter 57 Minor Surgery! Let Evelyn Handle It!
“I didn’t expected Miss Hart to be a doctor either. In that case, please come in.”
With the enthusiastic recommendations from the chief physicians, Khari Parker’s gaze toward Evelyn shifted dramatically. So young, yet so many praises for her medical skills; this woman truly possessed hidden depths.
Evelyn was unaware of their thoughts, but there was no denying that their support was incredibly helpful, so she accepted without hesitation.
“Well then, I’ll graciously accept. Thank you, CEO Parker.”
A crowd of doctors entered the room.
Since they were not all on the same side, Ethan Miller’s team was the first to step inside and assess the situation.
Everyone outside the door, including Khari Parker, was kept waiting on the pretense of needing a quiet environment to evaluate the patient’s condition.
Inside the room.
Soon enough, the doctors determined that Sharan Parker was in a coma due to a severe head injury, with an object pressing on
his nerves.
However, they hesitated to proceed with surgery. The foreign object was dangerously close to the head nerves, and any misstep could leave Sharan Parker severely disabled.
If that were to happen, the news would spread, and not only would Ethan Miller pursue them, but their careers would likely be
ruined as well.
They were diligent doctors, with no powerful connections behind them-family obligations made them unable to afford
carelessness.
“Perhaps, we have another option.”
His gaze drifted toward the doorway, his meaning clear to the doctor beside him.
“Are you suggesting we have Evelyn serve as the lead surgeon?”

The suggestion quickly met with opposition from the other doctors.
“Don’t forget, while Evelyn is skilled, she’s still young and lacks surgical experience. Can she truly handle a procedure this
risky?”
“Precisely because of that, we need to let Evelyn take the lead.”
“Let’s not overlook the fact that Evelyn seems to know Mr. Miller, and she has already resigned from the hospital. We have families to take care of-if something goes wrong during the surgery, she’s the best candidate to bear responsibility. Who else
here would step up?”
At this, the room fell silent.
If they wanted their careers to continue, they couldn’t afford to have such a blemish.
Quickly, they exchanged glances, understanding each other’s decision.
The surgical room door reopened, and all eyes turned to Evelyn.
“Evelyn, I hear you’re trained in traditional Chinese medicine. The patient’s condition is complex. Please come in and assist us
in the surgery.”
Evelyn nodded, puzzled but stepped inside nonetheless.
Her silhouette bathed in sunlight resembled a warrior marching toward the battlefield.
Khari Parker stared blankly at the scene, suddenly feeling a premonition; perhaps he had underestimated Evelyn.
The bedroom door swung open, then closed again, cutting off the outside world.

Evelyn, already dressed in her surgical attire, approached Sharan Parker, assessed his condition, and quickly formulated a solution in her mind.
The neurosurgeon had begun operating, revealing Sharan Parker’s brain. The nerve was situated just ten centimeters away from a small blood clot lodged perilously.
To extract it without disturbing the surrounding nerves required an extraordinarily experienced surgeon; everyone instinctively held their breath, sweat beginning to bead on their foreheads.
None of them dared to act, but upon seeing Evelyn arrive, the lead surgeon immediately vacated his position.
“Dr. Hart, I heard you used to lead surgeries. You younger folks are often more meticulous; it’s only fitting you take the lead on
this one.”
With that, tools were placed in Evelyn’s hands.
“Huh?” Evelyn was baffled; she thought she was merely there to assist, how had she suddenly become the lead surgeon?
But as her mind wandered, her hands were already in motion.
The other doctors quickly pulled out their phones, recording the entire procedure.
Should the surgery fail, this footage could save their careers.
The youth loved to shine, and these seasoned doctors were no match for the younger generation.
If it succeeded, it would reflect their guidance and offer the young talent an opportunity.
It was a win-win situation.
But what they did not expect was that Evelyn truly had remarkable skills.
Once she took the scalpel, her movements were swift, precise, and ruthless-she deftly removed the blood clot that was
compressing the nerves.
The other doctors barely had time to catch a glimpse of her motions before Evelyn had already handled it all seamlessly.
They had intended to interject with their advice, only to find there was no need for their input.
Evelyn’s speed exceeded their ability to guide; by the time they attempted to offer caution, she was already on to the next task.
All they could do was stand back in stunned silence, becoming mere spectators.
Could someone explain why this young woman appeared to have more experience than they did?
Weren’t they told that Evelyn was deemed unfit and expelled by the hospital for lack of expertise?
This was lack of expertise?
So, what did that make them? Incompetents?
The surgery, a lesson in proficiency, quickly concluded, with Evelyn working tirelessly throughout. The expert doctors were reduced to assistants, merely passing tools and doing menial tasks.
Once the surgery wrapped up and Evelyn wiped the sweat from her brow, the other doctors remained in shock.

As Evelyn finally took a breath, the doctors gathered around her.
“Evelyn, are you really just a junior doctor? Only in your twenties?”
Evelyn, still confused, nodded.
“My credentials should be easy to verify. I have no reason to deceive you.”
The experts’ eyes widened.
What a misjudgment; this was sheer brilliance.
Her swift, precise technique.
Her unparalleled stitching prowess.

They were genuinely astonished.
“Evelyn, at your age, have you considered furthering your studies? How about you let me be your mentor?”
“I scoff. With your medical skills? I would be a far better mentor for Evelyn; you should apply to work with me-I’ve got great
benefits.”
“You’re all simply shameless! Evelyn, you must still be unmarried, right? I have several students with great looks and character; come under my wing, and you can pick whoever you want. If you have your eye on someone, I’ll take them in as a student too.
What do you say?”
A group of doctors, usually so full of pride, were now scrambling for Evelyn’s favor, each offering more enticing deals than the
last.
Some even proposed to arrange her marriage, only for her to agree to be their student.
Evelyn shook her head, feeling both amused and exasperated. It reminded her of when her mentor recognized her talent and
made considerable sacrifices to win her over.

Not only did he visit her repeatedly, but he also expressed a desire to adopt her as his goddaughter, almost whisking her away
to hide from the world.
Remembering her mentor brought a touch of warmth to Evelyn’s eyes. She smiled and said, “I’m sorry, everyone, but I already have a mentor. He is the best teacher in the world.”

“You already have one? You can’t possibly be looking down on us old-timers and just saying that, right?”
An older doctor present regarded Evelyn with suspicion.
Evelyn chuckled at the comment and began to explain earnestly.
“Director, I really do have a mentor. He’s a wonderful person, and if he knew I was taking on another mentor, he’d likely come storming over here to confront you!”
Evelyn exaggerated for effect, but her demeanor convinced the influential figures around her that she truly had a mentor.
After speaking, while many in the room appeared momentarily dazed, she quickly darted out.
It had been ages since she’d performed a complete surgery; it felt like her hands weren’t even her own!
She needed to seize the Khari Parker project before Ethan Miller returned.
However, as she opened the door, she was taken aback to see a familiar face.
Ethan Miller – he was back already!
A surge of wariness washed over Evelyn.
As Ethan Miller looked her way, she furrowed her brow and walked over to Khari Parker.
may
Ethan Miller felt a twinge of irritation upon seeing Evelyn, but the information he’d just received from Khari Parker kept his temper in check.
She had no chance of performing surgery; if she was seeking Khari Parker out now, it must be to apologize.
It was downright foolish!
Rather than begging for Khari Parker’s forgiveness, she should be coming to him for help!
After all, the person in trouble was Khari Parker’s son.
With that thought, Ethan Miller pulled Evelyn aside before she could speak to Khari Parker, his voice threaded with anger.
“Evelyn, are you willing to sacrifice your entire career for Grayson Hayes?”
“Inside is CEO Parker’s son, a living, breathing person. For Grayson Hayes and this project, you’re willing to overlook a human life? Do you even realize you’re a doctor?”
That day, Grayson Hayes had put it so nicely.
Evelyn’s dream had been to be a good doctor.
But what had she become? An affair during her marriage was bad enough; he could overlook it.
But CEO Parker, while his business may not measure up to theirs, had some projects in collaboration with the government.
So offending CEO Parker could lead to massive repercussions for the Miller family if they sought revenge.
Evelyn had made a grave mistake, and he wouldn’t confront a wall with an egg,
Ethan Miller’s eyes flashed momentarily with a hint of delight,
Furthermore, this would show Evelyn the cost of leaving him, making her realize Grayson Hayes was just using her.
At that point, he could bring William along to sweet-talk Evelyn back into his life just as before.
Evelyn sensed Ethan Miller was caught up in some strange fantasy, but seeing his expression – naive and deranged – she realized it couldn’t lead to anything good.
Moreover, from Ethan Miller’s words, she discerned he believed she was working for Grayson Hayes.
He didn’t truly believe she could achieve anything significant.
“Ethan Miller, you really have a selective memory. If that beating you took before didn’t awaken you, I wouldn’t mind finding someone to jog your memory again!”,
Ethan Miller turned sharply to Evelyn, nearly losing control and grabbing her wrist.
“Evelyn, what did you just say? You know Grayson Hayes hit me?”
The sudden revelation crushed Ethan Miller, his eyes filled with pain as if he might shatter.
She knew!
She was helping an outsider to deal with him.
Evelyn regarded Ethan Miller with the pitying gaze one might give a fool.
“Of course I know. Good dogs don’t stand in the way; now move aside.”
Ethan Miller finally came back to himself, his eyes now narrowing with resentment towards her.
She was coldhearted enough to watch Grayson Hayes use underhanded tactics against him.
“Evelyn, what exactly are you smirking about? I can assure you that I won’t be pleading with CEO Parker on your behalf later.”
“If you want to stay alive, I suggest you leave right now.”
Evelyn was still Ethan Miller’s wife, despite their rocky relationship; she didn’t want to face repercussions from Khari Parker.
Completely perplexed by Ethan Miller’s logic, Evelyn felt impatience bubbling up and raised her voice instinctively.
“Ethan Miller, are you insane? Why should I leave?”
With the contract practically in her grasp, she had put in the work; why should she let Ethan Miller take the credit?
Khari Parker observed them both, initially keeping his voice low as he focused on the happenings in the operating room, not paying them much mind.
However, upon hearing Evelyn’s retort that Ethan Miller wanted her to leave, an ominous feeling settled in his stomach.
He quickly approached Evelyn and blocked her way.
“No way, you can’t leave! What’s happening with my son?”
Khari Parker’s expression was frantic. Having lost his wife during childbirth, he clung fiercely to the son they had left.
He treated his son like a lifeline, allowing no room for error.

Given the implications of Ethan Miller’s words, his eyes welled up as he gripped Evelyn’s arm tightly.
“Dr. Hart, you need to tell me how my son is doing!”
Ethan Miller, anxious at the side, felt urgency. He had warned Evelyn to leave, and now she was acting foolishly at a critical
moment.
He sighed inwardly, subtly positioning himself in front of Evelyn to calm Khari Parker’s emotions.
“CEO Parker, don’t be upset. Evelyn is just a junior doctor; what does she really understand? The senior doctors are still in there
working on it. Let’s just wait quietly.”
“As for Evelyn, she was likely sent by the senior doctors to organize surgical data. Don’t worry; your son will be fine.”
As he spoke, he desperately gestured to Evelyn, urging her to make her exit.
But Evelyn stood her ground, seemingly oblivious to his hints.
Fool!
Ethan Miller cursed under his breath again..
On the surface, he continued to try to buy time for her.
“CEO Parker, ignore her; she likes to show off.”
But the mixture of fury and sorrow had driven Khari Parker over the edge. He turned his unwavering gaze on Evelyn, demanding
answers.
“Tell me! What’s going on with my son?”
The look on his face suggested that if Evelyn made a misstep, he might lash out.
Ethan Miller felt a pang of alarm; this was Khari Parker’s territory, and if he indeed snapped, Ethan didn’t stand a chance.
He could only hope Evelyn would wise up and make the right move.
But that fleeting hope was quickly dashed as Evelyn stepped out from behind Ethan Miller.
“Mr. Parker, don’t worry. Your son is doing well.”
Of course, Ethan Miller didn’t believe her, and he interrupted her loudly.
“Evelyn, enough already! At a time like this, can’t you stop belittling yourself? What has happened to you?”
After that, he turned to explain to Khari Parker.
“CEO Parker, rest assured, the medical team I brought will definitely save Young Master Parker.”
Just then, the door swung open.
